Moving the deceased from his location a distance of half an hour on foot
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The sixth question of the fatwa number ( 16396 )
Q 6: Moving the deceased from his location a distance of half an hour on foot, and we say while walking with the funeral procession: (Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar). This is for the large funeral procession, and for the small funeral procession we say: (La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah). The scholars of this era have said: (That is not permissible; rather, one must go out with the funeral procession in silence), because it leads to people getting involved in the frivolity of worldly life, such as buying and selling and other things, during the funeral procession or during its placement in the grave, and the cause of this is the silence.
A 6 : Reciting dhikr while carrying the funeral procession is an innovation, so it is not prescribed, and its rejection becomes severe if it is done collectively. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
